Merrill-Maley House is a historic mansion in Jackson, Mississippi, U.S..

History

The house was built in 1907 for Philip S. Merrill, the manager of the George B. Merrill & Sons Lumber Company. ^[2] It was subsequently purchased by Charles E. Maley, a lumber. ^[2] Later, it was purchased by Dr. W. F. Henderson and his wife, Lucille Henderson. ^[2] In 1945, the house was remodeled into seven apartments. ^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. ^[3]

The house had been vacant and neglected for over a decade when a contractor bought and restored it in 2014-2016. ^[4] The building has since operated as an independent living facility. ^[5]
